Just a complete coaching malpractice by OSU.

It’s like THEY gave up after going up 20. Unexplainable. What a joke.

They were so bad it feels like they threw the game.

Ironically the time to intentionally give up...they failed to do so.   Texas was bound to score 1 yard out.  Just let them walk it in.

Should have let them score on that reception.

as soon as I saw Jerimiah Smith throw the horns down before going into the half I had a feeling it was going to happen

Kind of like that, but also kind of like they were gifted some very fortunate circumstances in the first half that made it look like a big mismatch in the quality of the teams. In reality, Texas never looked outmatched they just did some really stupid stuff then showed their worth late in the third and into the 4th.

I think Texas was looking outmatched with Smith having 120+ receiving yards at half time.

How Ohio State didn’t counter adjust when that was taken away is beyond me. Credit to Texas though for capitalizing and actually taking the win when it’s there

Smith is an absolute monster. Incredible showing by him tonight.
